Thai Feast No. 1: The Land (Paper Co. + Ngam NYC)

A Thai Feast - "The Land". On Sunday the 8th of March, a pop-up dinner by Chef Hong Thaimee of Ngam, NYC was hosted by Paper Co. Houston. The funds raised from the dinner went towards the Paper Co. mission of being "A Cafe for All" and what was initially planned to be a single dinner ended up becoming two (well, kinda three actually). The first one (this one) with a land theme, and the second (post coming soon) with a seafood theme. (Update: "Thai Feast No. 2: The Sea" is now online - 3/26/15)
